The behavior of biological systems provides both  the inspiration and the challenge for robotics. The goal is to build  robots which can emulate the ability of living organisms to integrate  perceptual inputs smoothly with motor responses, even in the presence  of novel stimuli and changes in the environment. The ability of living  systems to learn and to adapt provides the standard against which  robotic systems are judged. In order to emulate these abilities, a  number of investigators have attempted to create robot controllers  which are modelled on known processes in the brain and  musculo-skeletal system. Several of these models are described in this  book. \u003cbr\u003e  On the other hand, connectionist (artificial neural network)  formulations are attractive for the computation of inverse kinematics  and dynamics of robots, because they can be trained for this purpose  without explicit programming. Some of the computational advantages and  problems of this approach are also presented. \u003cbr\u003e  For any serious student of robotics, \u003cem\u003eNeural Networks in Robotics\u003c\/em\u003e  provides an indispensable reference to the work of major researchers  in the field. Similarly, since robotics is an outstanding application  area for artificial neural networks, \u003cem\u003eNeural Networks in Robotics\u003c\/em\u003e  is equally important to workers in connectionism and to students for  sensormonitor control in living systems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461363941\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3180-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 563\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398545797260,"sku":"9781461363941","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461363941.jpg?v=1775009681","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461363941","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
